Hi there again - thanks for the tips Ralphy, but i'm not sure i fully understood them ?!
Anyway, having messed around far too much with LIRC - trying to somehow disable the receive function, whilst exploiting transmit (didn't work in the end, i could either have only Rx with IR-tools, or only Tx with LIRC) - and then i discovered ir-ctl ! So, ir-ctl is part of the ir-tools package and will allow me to transmit, whilst receive continues to work as is! ir-ctl -f gives me this: Receive features /dev/lirc0: - Device cannot receive Send features /dev/lirc0: - Device can send raw IR - IR scancode encoder - Set carrier - Set duty cycle So this makes sense i guess as receive is already busy via jivelite. and indeed, the following will send a key code and make the IR LED flash: sudo ir-ctl -S rc6_0:0xA45B However, this wont turn my NAD amp on !! - whereas the licrc equivalent: irsend SEND_ONCE NAD_SR6 KEY_POWER does indeed work. Below is the first part of the LIRC config file i am using for my amp - and i assumed if i could guess the correct protocol (which is the function of the first part of the lirc.conf file right ?!) then all i need to send would be the key code and possibly the pre_data 0xE13E beforehand (which i think identifies the make and model). But i cant find / guess whcih IR protocol the NAD is using and also i cant get any to work with the 4 hex numbers 0xE13EA45B So, the two questions I have are: Am i barking up the right tree or completely not ? / and does anyone have a clue which IR protocol NAD use ??
